The Polish suborbital rocket takes a successful flight [WIDEO]

The test was conducted on Sunday. Its purpose was to verify the aerodynamic parameters and design assumptions of the rocket in supersonic flight. The effectiveness of the communication with the rocket during the flight was also tested using the RASEL autonomous tracking and data transmission system designed by SpaceForest – said the Polish Space Agency. Also checked refueling course of the rocket after placing it on the launcher.

During the Drawski training field trials, the vehicle developed a maximum speed of 2 Ma. In 50 seconds, it reached the limit of 15 km, the maximum fixed for the Drawski polski for safety reasons. As explained by SpaceForest company president Robert Magiera, this ceiling is not a limitation in terms of rocket performance, but it is sufficient to develop a supersonic speed and test the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle in very windy conditions.

– The test also allowed us to confirm the previous calculations concerning the quantity of fuel to be refueled so as not to exceed this limit. We are happy to have been able to verify our assumptions with great precision – said Magiera. He added that, as after the first test, all the elements of the rocket were found "under conditions adapted to the next flight".

– It is also extremely important that, as part of the preparations for departure, we managed to complete the procedure of refueling the rocket after placing it on the launcher. Because such a procedure is required by port services, among others in Sweden or Norway, it is essential to be able to test their use for commercial purposes, said President SpaceForest.

The first flight of the rocket took place on November 2nd of this year. at the Babi Doły military airport, near Gdynia. The vehicle was launched at a height of 1000 meters. The flight was successful and the entire bearing system was found.

The BIGOS 4 rocket has a height of 5500 mm and a diameter of 204 mm. The powered vehicle weighs 65 kg; its starting mass is 100 kg. The construction can be 100 percent. recovered and ready for re-use within 72 hours of the previous mission.

BIGOS 4 is a 1: 2 scale model of a future suborbital rocket of the low-cost suborbital rocket class called PERUN, designed and developed by SpaceForest as part of a co-funded project. by the National Research and Development Center (NCBR). . The objective of the project is to create the first Polish rocket capable of carrying 50 kg of freight up to a ceiling of 150 km.

According to the Polish Space Agency, the launch of the BIGOS 4 rocket is one of the landmark events of the Polish space industry, which took place in the second half of November 2018. Monday, the 39, landing took place in NASA's Inasa probe, aboard which a device penetrating the Martian soil with the driving mechanism developed and manufactured in Poland by Astronika company with the support of national companies and of Research institutes.

Also in November, the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is expected to put into orbit two Polish satellites: the student PW-Sat2 and ICE-Finnish-Polish ICEYE-X2 and the satellite ESEO / S-50, carried out under the auspices of the European Space Agency. the telecommunication system was prepared at the Wrocław University of Technology. The Polish Space Agency is also negotiating membership in the European Space Monitoring and Monitoring Consortium, which should enable national entities to participate in projects funded by the European Union.

The November events of the national space sector are accompanied by an information campaign entitled "Poland in space – November space", conducted with the support of the Polish Space Agency and the Ministry of Enterprise and Technology.
